Lawton Police-Involved Shooting Ruled Suicide

A determination is made in a police-involved shooting in Lawton in which one woman died.

The Oklahoma Medical Examiner says a woman who died after a stand-off with Lawton police last week died of a self-inflicted gun shot wound. That shooting happened last Thursday at a home in the 64-hundred block of NW Oak. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation says it was not known if 30-year-old Lauren Haskins died of a bullet from her gun or from an officer's, because at least one officer fired his gun. Police were initially dispatched to the home to the check the welfare of a woman. When they arrived they reported the woman was suicidal and attempted to negotiate with her. Officers say during those attempts, Haskins pulled out a gun.
